Arts & Crafts Side Table Code 1213 Wylie & Lochhead Antique Furniture Antique Furniture by the Scottish cabinet makers Wylie & Lochhead means the piece is going to be of superb quality & a very high level of craftsmanship. Wylie & Lochhead made antique furniture in traditional style like in the Chippendale designs but also in the Arts & Crafts design. They were famous for their stunning selection of antique wardrobes, antique dining chairs & antique dining tables. in 1829 Wylie & Lochhead was started by cabinetmakers Robert Wylie & William Lochhead mainly as coffin builders but they quickly became very successful with many workshops & furniture showrooms in Glasgow, Scotland. Wylie & Lochhead became renowned for their artistic designs & high levels of craftsmanship especially in the late Victorian & Edwardian periods. Wylie & Lochhead most well known designers were E.A Taylor, John Ednie & George Logan. Their Arts & Crafts Furniture designs were considered of such high quality they were displayed at the Turin International Exhibition alongside those of Rennie Mackintosh & the Glasgow Four. Wylie & Lochhead soon opened showrooms in England in the large cities like London & Manchester but they also began selling abroad like in America. There is no makers mark on this piece, sometimes there would have been a little rectangular plaque but this at some point has gone. Being in the antique furniture game most of my life on & off & with learning furniture (especially Scottish) from family who were dealers I can confidently say this piece is genuine & correct. More than likely retailed through one of their shops some pieces were also retailed through Liberty & co. Structurally very sound just the usual split to the top & some wear but a highly sought after piece that is a superb collectible that will be adored.
